CHICAGO. March Wheat prices were
firm al the opening this morning, but heavy
selling caused break of l1sc during the mid
die session. In the afternoon there was a
frantic effort by shorts to cover. and with
very free purchases by prominent bulls the
price for May touched S3lzc, the highest point
since the recent big decline. One of the feat
ures of the advance was that during the
greater portion of the session the difference
between May and June was exactly lc, but
this IS gradually wiped Ct. In the latest
trading May was only Lsc higher than June.
There was great excitement when the market
began to move up on the afternoon board,
bidding being so active and strong as to oon-
vince shorts that powerful clique posi- y
had control OF The market and tina prices had
only commenced to move up. First estimates
to the visible supply placed the decrease as
high as 100000 bushels. but the actua, de-
crease was found to be l.S46.000 bushels. hich
was somewhat disappointing to many traders.
Gable advices were favorable to holders. Ex-
port clealings from three ports were I'll COO
u~hels. Receipts in the Northwest were
larger. There was q fair amount of trading
In corn, but values were weak and lower.
There was more pressure to sell, while the
demand was light. Prices broke of 1910 from
Saturdays closing, rallied PC and closing
for the day 3sc lower tnan Saturday. Re-
ceipts were larger While the shipping demand
was fair. Oats were only fairly active and
ruled shade easier, but finally closed at SAT-
urday's figures. Pork was dull at about pre-
vlous figures. Lard and short ribs opened a
shade higher, but closed without marked
change from Saturdays prices.
